Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry
Who: Kayla Bundy and Andrew Kirke
What: Prefects Rounds Gone Awry
Where: Outside Ravenclaw's tower
When: Friday evening
Status: In-complete
Rating: Probably around a PG for attitude!


It was the last round of prefect patrol of the evening, and Andrew found himself on duty. Well, more so, he made himself on duty. When coming up with the schedule, he'd worked himself into as many late night shifts as he could. For someone who hated sleeping, getting to be prowling the castle as absolutely late at night as he physically could was a perfect remedy. It was either that or stalking the common room hoping something wonderful to do would just magically appear. He was rarely that lucky.

He was attempting to look put together, though, as he made his way down the hall leading to the Ravenclaw tower. Never mind that he was bursting with excess energy, he was Head Boy. Bloody Head Boy. He couldn't go acting like a bouncy third year now. But the kid running down the hall, panting and out of breath, looked like he could be a bouncy third year. "Whoa, whoa," Andrew warned, holding out a hand. "Where are you going? It's after curf--"

"I know!" the boy blurted desperately. "I was in the library! Madam Pince wasn't going to let me out with my book! I had to beg and plead really really hard and I'm on my way back up, I swear I am..."

The boy reminded Andrew so much of himself that Andrew had to smile. "Well. Go on up. But next time, leave earlier. You know you have to fight with Pince, may as well get a head start."

Eyes nearly bugging out of his head, the boy stared. "Really? No detentions or points or nothing?"

"Anything," Andrew corrected, amused at his grammar correction considering, well, it was him after all. "We all make mistakes, go on then. But I'm watching you go up those stairs so don't try and detour." There. That sounded tough and mean and definitely like he meant business.

After stuttering a billion thank yous and apologies, the boy rushed up the stairs, and Andrew leaned against the stone wall and watched him take the stairs two at a time. He definitely had been telling the truth about where he was going. He even had a library book in hand, so he had probably been telling the truth about where he'd been. Perfect.

Perfect. Head Girl duties. Kayla wasn't even supposed to be roaming the corridors this evening but one of her Prefects was feeling sick and had begged Kayla to do her side of the Castle that evening. Having no other choice, Kayla agreed. It was a good thing that she had gotten her homework done already, or else this would about been a real waste of time for her. So far the night was quiet, earlier on that evening she only had to hurry long a few students to get back to their dormitories.

It wasn't until a little later that she heard voices from around the corner. Instantly she recognized Andrew's, who was also supposed to be checking the other half of the castle. Well, Kayla knew that she was now over on the other side and probably should head back to the Common room when she heard a second voice. Listening carefully, Kayla gathered that Andrew had caught a student out and about and let him off easy. Ugh. He was going to be a real pain for her this year.

After the student left, Kayla turned around the corner and stopped instantly. Her hands on her hips and a small glare grown across her face.

"Kirke."

Andrew didn't even blink as Kayla found him. After all, she was just as likely to be out in the halls as he was that night, though he was pretty sure it was another Prefect's turn at duty. Still, a Head's work was never done!

She was glaring, though. That wasn't entirely uncommon with Kayla, however, and he was determined to break her of it. "Hi, Kayla," he offered, refusing to give in to the surname status she'd bestowed on him. Not for any respect reasons, but simply because he figured it'd probably drive her mental. Either that or prove he could be cheerful even when she clearly didn't like him.

"I thought you weren't on duty till tomorrow," he questioned, eyeing her for a moment. It was sort of a shame. She'd really be very pretty if she'd just scowl a little less often.

Kayla winced when he said her name. Honestly, she wasn't upset that he had used her first name. While she did consider herself more formal than most students around here, she had used his surname for the sole purpose that she was annoyed with him. However hearing her name from him was odd. Unless you were a close friend of Kayla's, she had always heard the other students refer to her as Bundy, or possibly something worse.

"One of my Prefects is sick." Kayla stated. Her arms now crossed to her chest as she remained still. "Though from what I can see it's a good thing I'm out here. One of us would at least be following the rules."

Andrew racked his brain. He was dressed appropriately, tie was in place, robes were on straight. As far as he knew, he hadn't been sneaking about, and there was no way she could possibly know about the Dragon Lady reference he'd made about Professor McGonagall earlier that day. So what the hell was she talking about?

She looked terribly intimidating standing like that. He shifted a bit under her gaze, feeling as if he was facing a minature, female version of Professor Snape. "Which rule?" he questioned, tilting his head. "Heard about my plan to run away to Tahiti and win your approval with a genuine coral necklace, hmm?" Maybe it would just make her more angry, but hey, he was going to have fun while he was at it.

Kayla almost let out a snort of laughter, the look on his face, she could tell he was frantically trying to figure out what she was talking about. Still, his next comment made her roll her eyes, choosing not to respond to that question.

"I'm talking about you letting off that kid with a warning, Kirke." Kayla said cooly.

Oh for Merlin's sake, was she kidding? "You're joking, right?" he questioned, lifting his eyebrows at her. "He's just a kid! Practically a firstie, and it wasn't as if he did anything wrong." Well, he was pretty sure he hadn't. Besides, Andrew had made sure he'd gone up to the tower, and that really should've been good enough. Well, he thought so, anyway.

Sighing, he shook his head. "You know what trying to get away from Pince is like, would you really have put him in detention for that?"

"That you know of." Kayla replied. "But you believe him because all he had to do was show a few tears and you probably believed him right away." Rolling her eyes again, she sighed as she uncrossed her arms. "That's not the point, he was out of bed, he could have tried to leave earlier than he did but he choose not to. We have to make an example out of him or people are going to think they can just waltz around here and give you some made up soppy story, knowing you'll forgive them."

"Of course I believe him," Andrew reasoned, looking at her imploringly. "I've some faith that not everyone is out to cause the castle to burn down. Besides, he's probably not dealt with Pince much before, how was he to know to leave earlier?" Okay, so she made a point, he couldn't exactly go letting every student ever off the hook. But it was only a few minutes after curfew, and the castle was huge, after all. That and Madam Pince really did have a reputation for keeping students well after she should have. "One student isn't going to be the difference between a school full of chaos and a well-run one."

"Fine." Kayla snapped, though a little more harshly than she had wanted. Not that she would take it back. "Just don't make it a habit," she added as she looked around the empty halls. After a heavy sigh, she looked back over to Andrew. "Look, if you don't have your rounds finished, I can come with you. I already have my side finished and we're technically supposed to be out here for at least another half an hour if not an hour."

While it may seem like she was trying to make a peace offering, she was. Though she meant it only for tonight. Knowing that he wouldn't get too used to Kayla being nice to him or even offering to help him. Though he didn't have to accept and a part of her almost wanted him to say no thanks.

Seriously? She was letting him off? Andrew had expected a royal ruckus, having to argue and battle his way through whatever she might throw at him. For her to relent so easily seemed almost impossible, but he wasn't going to complain. It was getting late, after all, and the two Heads yelling in the halls would probably attract some negative attention.

He was tempted to say no. After all, she made it sound as if he couldn't patrol the corridors on his own. He was quite capable of it, actually, and had been since the day he became a Prefect. But it was also tempting to try and get on her friendly side, or at least get to know her a bit better. Know thy enemy and all that. "Sure, if you want," he offered. "I've only got the second floor and the stairs in front of Hufflepuff's commons to go, though." That walk alone, however, would likely take him the full half hour.

"Alright, lets get to it then." Kayla said as she walked over to him. Once they set off, Kayla became quiet. Not that she didn't want to, well maybe she didn't exactly feel like being social and she really wasn't much of a talker. Mostly because she found it difficult to make small talk and it was one of the things that annoyed her. Small talk was usually reserved for people you hardly know or didn't live very well and it's just attempting to be fake nice. Kayla hated the awkwardness that came from it.

Being so quiet was a rare feat for Andrew. The times when he was actually a quiet person could be counted using less than one hand: weddings, funerals, and being scolded by professors. That was pretty much it. He wasn't even all that quiet when he slept, and he was sure his dormmates had been grateful when he'd learned to put a silencing charm around the bed.

"You know," he began, finally snapping from the silence and likely to regret anything that was about to leave his mouth, "you don't have to hate me just because I like to have fun. I can help out the school and still have a good time, too, you know."

Kayla couldn't help but laugh a little when Andrew spoke. "Two things." Kayla replied after a moment of silence after he spoke. "One, I never said anything about hating you. I only dislike you. There's a difference. Two, it's not that you like to have fun, overly happy people just annoy me." That was all there was to it. The girl shrugged as she continued walking. "Besides, helping out the school isn't the whole part, we have to be responsible. Not to mention, I've already had to deal with your lots so called "fun" last year, I would rather not have to relive that."

"So called fun?" Andrew replied with a lifted eyebrow. Well, at least she wasn't going to eat him. That was definitely an improvement, he thought. "Furthermore, what do you mean 'my lot'? Gryffindors? Males? Crazy people?" After all, it was him, the conversation couldn't possibly get too serious or he'd come undone. A second later, his head jerked up. "And what do you mean, 'overly happy', for that matter? I'm not all that happy! Just energetic, there's a difference, I swear there is."

"I'm talking about that stupid carnival that Brown put on and as much as I wish I could forget that camp out, I can't." Stupid muggle parties. Why anyone would want to sleep on a cold hard ground was beyond here. That is why people build houses because over all those years, humans have bettered themselves by not sleeping outside on the ground.

"Energetic is worse."

Andrew scoffed, a bright smile on his face. "It wasn't that bad, was it? I've never been to a carnival, not one like that. And there were marshmallows at the camp out, and anywhere where there are marshmallows is a good place." Which was probably just proving her point, but he didn't much care by then. It had been fun, most of the student body had enjoyed it, why hadn't she? "Okay, if you hated those, what do you think the students should get for fun?"

"Honestly, I really don't care. As long as I'm not being forced to join." Remembering a lot of the things she had to do. Like the camp out and that stupid buddy project. "Do whatever you bloody want, as long as it doesn't involve me and it doesn't break the rules." Was there a reason for being so mean? Not tonight. Yes, she usually was in a sour mood but tonight wasn't a good night for her. Nothing against Andrew, not that she would explain that to him.

Though Andrew wasn't always thrilled with the things pushed on the student, his optimism usually won out and he typically enjoyed himself. And he knew, he just knew that if Kayla would let herself, she'd enjoy it, too. "Well, surely you've got some ideas. I mean, it doesn't exactly look good if I'm planning something and you're not in on it." Andrew was pretty sure Ernie had never had this problem. Well, of course he hadn't, he'd been dating the Head Girl! He was pretty sure that pair agreed on most things. He didn't think he was going to have quite such an easy time with Kayla.
